Glad to see ffmpeg is still going strong, I used it years ago to do some project 1999 EverQuest streaming on twitch running on a Manjaro dist install running EQ in wine.

Reminder FFMPEG can execute simple edits all on it's own & has built-in automation

Wouldn't be surprised if YouTube and Netflix don't use FFmpeg. I am pretty sure they use custom built hardware encoders. Pretty sure Netflix has a lot of blog posts about building their own encoding methods

Why don't they change the licence of FFMpeg to GPL so that everything uses it is open source? It'd be a win-win.

Then all these companies just wouldn't use it and would use something worse instead. Everything will be inferior and ffmpeg becomes less prominent and loses out on contributors and donations. It's a lose-lose.

Reality is complicated, GPL is awesome for a lot of things but in some cases it can hinder adoption.
